Jiande·Songjian Among the Clouds: A Rammed Earth Aesthetic Homestay Nestled in an Entire Pine Forest

Bamuqiu, Qianyuan Village, Sandu Town, Jiande
Hidden atop a 700-meter-high pine-covered mountain, this is a secluded paradise to escape the hustle and bustle. Navigate to "Jiande Yunman Songjian Hot Spring Boutique Homestay" to arrive. A 2-hour drive from Hangzhou through the 42-curve "Little Tibet Route" of western Zhejiang, where misty clouds make you feel as if you’ve entered the ink-wash landscape of *A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains*.

Meticulously crafted over three years by the China Academy of Art, this retreat perfectly blends century-old rammed earth architecture with wild luxury. The weathered rammed earth walls whisper ancestral tales, while black steel frames and floor-to-ceiling windows outline modern textures. The treehouse restaurant hovers among the pines, and the infinity pool mirrors the sky and clouds. Every design follows the philosophy of a "realm of relaxation," balancing the ruggedness of the wilderness with the refined elegance of a five-star hotel.

**Cloud Pool**: In summer, dive into the infinity pool and watch clouds shatter into starlight on the water. **Wild Adventures**: Pick strawberries/watermelons or dig for bamboo shoots with a bamboo basket, hike through pine forests and bamboo groves, take kids to catch fish in the streams, fish by the reservoir, or gather chestnuts in autumn. **Starry Sky Theater**: Enjoy open-air movies by the bonfire, sing KTV into the wild, or compete in mahjong battles. **Healing Moments**: Soak in private hot springs under the stars, savor premium Longjing tea, or greet the morning with yoga amidst cloud waterfalls.

Here, the poetic scene of "bright moon shining through pines, clear stream flowing over stones" comes to life. Time slows to the sound of a falling pine needle. Jiande Yunman Songjian is not an escape from life but a utopia where you fall in love with living again. Come, let time dissolve into the whispering pines and let your soul dwell among the sea of clouds.
